Product Description

What's completely and utterly baffling about Killer Klowns is not the plot--that's rather tidily summed up by the title--but the fact that it got made at all. According to the filmmakers, (the Chiodo brothers: Charles, Edward, and Stephen) all it took to convince the studio was a one-page treatment and a picture of a clown holding a gun. It boggles the mind. Anyway, some killer Klowns descend from outer space and start wrapping their hapless victims in cotton candy for later consumption. Debbie and Mike suspect something's amiss, but who will believe them? The movie's greatest asset is its willingness to play on the inherent creepiness of clowns. The Klowns are grotesque parodies of their big-top cousins, hiding hideous malformed teeth behind terrifying circus makeup. It's impossible to tell if Killer Klowns is truly meant to be scary, but it is compelling in its thoroughness: popcorn, balloon animals, and really big shoes are all used to their fullest effect. The only cast member you'll recognize immediately is veteran character actor John Vernon as Officer Mooney, but keep an eye out for Christopher Titus in a small role as Bob McReed. Then just sit back and stare open-mouthed in bewildered joy. --Ali Davis

If you want a perfect movie night watch, in this order, "Enter...zombie king", "Killer Clowns from outter space", and the first "Dolimite" film. Have a lot of popcorn and Jack Daniels handy.

This movie is pure camp and cheese. But thoroughly entertaining. The title pretty much sums up what you would see, definetly no surprises. I was a bit disappointed that I wouldn't be scared...even a little scared would've been great. If you're a serious horror fan you won't be very thrilled. Its a typical 80's attempt at horror movie making; low budget and questionable acting ability. But if you enjoy a few laughs thrown in with some disturbing elements of klown behaviour you might find it passable on a friday night. Watch it late with loads of buttered popcorn and you will experience an interesting night with a B horror based film.

By E. A Hill
Format:DVD
If you like your movies with extra cheese then this is just the movie for you. It's probably one of the worst and corniest I've ever seen but that's what makes it so entertaining. Perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon or if you are in the mood for a light movie with goofy humor. Definiately not Oscar material but then again it was never meant to be.

KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE REVIEW
This is one of the worst movie I ever saw. First, it was boring like hell and it could have been a lot better if there was more action and comedy. I really regret my purchase.
